speaking of snow...

i just returned from 40 days in India. It's a crazy place.

anyway, my first fixie is in pieces, out at the bike shop (where i work) in vienna, and i've actually had dreams about building it. it needs to be built. it's calling me.

i need to get out there. i start work again on thursday, but i can go out tommorow or wednesday and work on my bike. i can either ride my old cannondale or use the ridiculous washington area metro system with it's ******** unpredictable busses, for which i have waited (wasted) several hours, damn them. as you can see, i'd rather bike.

SO, the thing is, i've never biked in the snow. this would be on my old cannondale, lacking the responsiveness and rear-wheel control of a fixie.

anything to say to a snow-biking virgin?
